Standing outside their locker room Saturday afternoon, members of the Westview Wildcats boys basketball team spoke about optimism, confidence and staying positive.  The ninth-ranked club in Class 6A had just wrapped up the 12th-annual Les Schwab Invitational with a solid 70-68 victory over No. 5 Central Catholic in a consolation game at Liberty High School.  Although they went 2-2 in the prestigious 16-team, four-day tournament, the Wildcats could feel good about themselves. They had previously halted a six-game losing streak and came back to finish .500 against some of the top teams in the state - and the country.  “Before the game,” Westview head coach Pat Coons said, “it was about being positive with them and telling them that you can walk out of here 2-2 against good competition, feel good, and if we put all that to work, all the stuff we’ve gone through has been worth it.
